RFK Jr. Poised for Key Health Role in Second Trump Administration

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to influence health and environmental policy with a focus on reducing chronic diseases and reforming federal health agencies.

Kennedy has formed an alliance with President-elect Donald Trump, focusing on a 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda aimed at tackling chronic diseases and ensuring clean food and water access.
While his exact role is not yet defined, Kennedy is expected to have significant influence over health policy, potentially advising on restructuring agencies like the CDC and NIH.
Kennedy has been outspoken about perceived corruption in health agencies, advocating for the removal of pharmaceutical influence and a return to evidence-based science.
Critics express concern over Kennedy's history of spreading vaccine misinformation and the potential global health implications of his influence in the Trump administration.
Kennedy's proposed policies include banning pharmaceutical advertising on TV and addressing conflicts of interest within federal health agencies.
